...6 baby woodchucks. While removing an old 10'x14' metal tool shed in the backyard I tear up the wood floor to find these forlorn little critters. Their eyes are open, but they can barely crawl let alone run. They certainly can't fend for themselves and momma is no where to be seen.
Even though I'm sure they are the descendents of all the woodchucks who have dined on my late wife's flowers over the years; I do not have the heart or desire to leave them to their fate (predatory dogs, cats, coyotes); let alone euthanize them. I tried calling a wild life rehabilitator I used to know, an old high-school chum, but we haven't talked in years. I left a message, but haven't received a reply yet. For now I've left them untouched in their nest, and hope momma comes back and moves them to a new home. What a dilemma...
